- Abstract:
- We present a formulation of the nanoscale radiative heat transfer
using concepts of mesoscopic physics. We introduce the analog of the
Sharvin conductance using the quantum of thermal conductance. The
formalism provides a convenient framework to analyze the physics of
radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale. Finally, we propose a
radiative heat transfer experiment in the regime of quantized
conductance.
